LG Phones Say Adios to Mexican Manufacturing Plant
May 21, 2009, 2:20 PM by Eric M. Zeman
LG said today that it plans to stop manufacturing mobile phones at a facility it operates in Mexicali, Mexico, near the California border. The plant there makes some 200,000 phones per month and has about 200 employees. LG is making the change due to an import tariff no longer being in place that cost LG 15% to import devices into Mexico. The plant will still be used to make LCD displays. The phones that were made at the Mexicali plant will instead be made at another plant that LG owns in Brazil.

The real heading of this should be "Tariff laws cause LG to make larger carbon footprint."
What a load of crap.

We fail to see your point. Are you a tree-hugging liberal worried about your carbon footprint? I think that's pretty funny actually 🤣

I got a crazy idea...how bout setting up shop in the United States, oh wait but that would require paying workers more than just in coconuts and frogs. what a drag 😳

How would moving the factory to the United States make them more financially efficient? The full article says that they can now make the phones at their existing plant in Brazil, where they make over 1 million phones a month, and bring them into Mexic...
